No. There is one important difference between plain LDAP and AD: an AD server 
will _never_ give away the user's (machine's) password. Never. The closest 
thing you can get is a MS-CHAP challenge that is built from the password, but 
for some reason that doesn't do the trick.

It would, if AD would give you the password. But it doesn't.
